Apple and Nectarine Crumble

This coming Mother’s Day you might want to keep the menu simple so that you spend more time with your mother rather than slaving over a hot stove. I have already suggested a succulent roast chicken in my blog for the main event but here’s a pudding idea that also complies with my KISS philosophy…keep it simple sweetheart!

2. In a bowl, mix the apples with the nectarines, 3 tbsp water and sweetener to taste (the amount will vary according to the sharpness of the apples chosen). Spoon into a baking dish.

3. To make the crumble topping, rub the low-fat spread into the flour and cinnamon until the mixture is the texture of fine breadcrumbs. Stir in the sweetener with the almonds. Sprinkle over the fruit mixture but don’t pat down too much.

4. Bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes until the crumble is golden and the fruit is bubbling through at the edges. Serve hot or warm, decorated with apple slices and cinnamon sticks if liked.
